A Little About Me

Although I am an expert in clinical approaches, and we can use them together as they fit your needs, I will never dump therapy on you or not listen to your ideas of what is going on. (If you have ever had that happen you know what I am talking about…chuckling aren’t you ). Now on to the more traditional talk…

I am a PhD-level licensed therapist and also a Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and have been in practice, publishing, teaching, and conducting research for 20 years. I teach advanced clinical practice to 20-25 graduate students per year, have multiple clinical supervisees and I know and have conducted research on what works in therapy. Here are some of my publications. As a client you have direct access to me, with agencies you take the chance of whom you will see based on intake and who is available. I have a proven track record of helping my clients.

I have a limited caseload and cannot always take clients. I do this because I have found through supervision and research that therapist who over-book often do so at the expense of client outcomes. Call me now and decide if I am a good fit for you or a loved one.
